What Hydro Fluid?
I'm working on maintaining my two hydrostatic Cub Cadets, 1450 and 149. It's time to change the hydrostatic fluid, and I was wondering what type of fluid you guys used. Do you use the IH Hy-Tran or some equivalent. Also, when you change the filter and fluid, do you have to pop off the rear differential cover or not? When I got my first 1450 it didn't need anything but a topping up, and I didn't use it a lot because I was working on it and didn't know it's usefulness. Now it's time, so I need to figure it out.

Hytran Ultra, its the only stuff that absorbs water and keeps it from damaging the tranny. Yes, pull the cover , get a new gasket...It will enable you to clean all the gunk that might be in there .

Why is it when you have a Sunstrand in a Cub you must use International Trans and when you have the same trans unit in a JD you must use JD oil? I think if you look closely all the dealers get there oil from the same place. Check the MSDS for the product and it will give you the supplier.

Hytran has moisture absorption properties that the other fluids do not. I have had several rearends that I drained WATER out of because they sat outside, yet because there was Hytran clinging to all of the parts inside, there was no rust at all. I have not seen any other fluid do that.

They are the same. The gallon jug on the left is from an IH and is about $16 a gallon and the quart on the right is from a Cub dealer. I think it takes 1 and 3/4 gallons to fill a hydro.

CHolmes, I've actually had a couple JD dealers tell me the same thing about their version of Hytran for our older hydros. I haven't used the JD brand but a few times and although I haven't noticed a difference after fluid changes I haven't used it enough to say if it's as good. As long as it's convenient I'd still stick with Hytran though.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
